4239.000.6215.6.indd 8 23-10-09 10:05
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
- 1 for synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
- 1 for silk
- 2 for wool
- 3 for cotton
- MAX for linen
If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be
visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to
prevent shiny patches. To prevent stains, do not use the spray function.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,
such as those made of synthetic bres.
4 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
,The amber temperature light goes on.
5 When the amber temperature light has gone out, wait a while
before you start ironing.
The temperature light goes on from time to time during ironing.
Note: The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the rst time.
This stops after a short while.
1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
2 Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the temperature).
3 Set the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that the steam setting
you select is suitable for the set ironing temperature: (Fig. 7)
- 1 - 3 for moderate steam (temperature settings 2 to 3)
- 4 - 6 for strong steam (temperature settings 3 to MAX)
Note: The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it reaches the set
temperature.
9
4239.000.6215.6.indd 9 23-10-09 10:05
Note: If the set ironing temperature is too low (MIN to 2), water may drip
from the soleplate (see chapter ‘Features, section ‘Drip stop’).
When you use the Ionic DeepSteam function during steam ironing, the
steam produced is ner than during regular steam ironing. Fine steam
reaches deeper, especially into thick fabrics. This helps you to remove
stubborn creases easily.
1 Follow steps 1 to 3 in section ‘Steam ironing’.
2 Press and hold the Ionic DeepSteam button (Fig. 8).
,The Ionic DeepSteam light goes on and you hear a humming
sound. (Fig. 9)
3 The iron now produces Ionic DeepSteam to help you remove even
the toughest creases.
Note: The Ionic DeepSteam function is only effective when it is used in
combination with a steam setting and a temperature setting between 2
and MAX.
Note: Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function when you iron without steam
and/or at low temperature settings. However, ironing at low temperatures
without steam with the Ionic DeepSteam function switched on will not
damage the iron.
Note: The Ionic DeepSteam output may vary from time to time, depending on
the ironing temperature.
1 Set the steam control to position 0 (= no steam) (Fig. 2).
Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function, as this function has no effect
when you iron without steam.
2 Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the temperature’).
